Information and Covariance Matrices for Multivariate Pareto (IV), Burr, and Related Distributions

Authors

Abstract:

Main result of this paper is to derive the exact analytical expressions of information and covariance matrix for multivariate Pareto, Burr and related distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in reliability, actuarial science, economics, finance and telecommunications. We showed that all the calculations can be obtained from one main moment multidimensional integral whose expression is obtained through some particular change of variables. Indeed, we consider that this calculus technique for that improper integral has its own importance.

Information Covariance Matrices for Multivariate Burr III and Logistic Distributions

Main result of this paper is to derive the exact analytical expressions of information and covariance matrices for multivariate Burr III and logistic distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in price and income distributions, reliability, economics, Human population, some biological organisms to model agricultural population data and survival data. We showed that ...

In this paper we derive the exact analytical expressions for the information and covariance matrices of the multivariate Burr and related distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in reliability, actuarial science, economics, finance and telecommunications. We show that all the calculations can be obtained from one main moment multi dimensional integral whose expre...

Visualizing Distributions of Covariance Matrices

We present some methods for graphing distributions of covariance matrices and demonstrate them on several models, including the Wishart, inverse-Wishart, and scaled inverse-Wishart families in different dimensions. Our visualizations follow the principle of decomposing a covariance matrix into scale parameters and correlations, pulling out marginal summaries where possible and using two and thr...

Computing Posterior Distributions for Covariance Matrices

Diiculties in computing the posterior distribution of a covariance matrix when using nonconjugate priors has been discussed by several authors. Typically, the posterior distribution for the covariance matrix is computed via the Gibbs sampler and when using a Wishart prior for the inverse of the covariance matrix, one obtains conditional conjugacy (the full conditional distribution of the invers...
